What would be nice is if the game had more context when it comes to solving some of the puzzles, I understand the complexity but it would be nice if there was just a little more guidance… the one thing that irks me about this game is compared to other games in this genre, you don’t have to pay to continue to play… this game is not top quality what so ever, so I find it to be a waste to spend your money on it. It’s very ridiculous to me… maybe if it was higher quality and the directions were more clear , and maybe the price was a little lower yes I wouldn’t care to pay but it’s just not worth it to me. I really was starting to like this game too, until the payment part came up. That’s probably why the ratings are not very good for this game to be honest… hope this can be fixed or something ! ### 3/5 — 😕 *2024-09-04, version 1.3* I am disappointed these people make the best games that I like, but this one just doesn’t make sense like, why does it take place in China then India, and then Greenland, then Spain😮 ### 3/5 — 😕 *2024-08-18* I am disappointed these people make the best games that I like, but this one just doesn’t make sense like, why does it take place in China and they don’t look like Chinese and they don’t talk like Chinese but other than that, it’s a great game just don’t play the games with actual people in them, this is OK but not ### 2/5 — Unable to complete *2024-08-08* Unable to complete as tin opener is not showing in the inventory as indicated. Disappointed. ### 3/5 — Ok *2024-05-08, version 1.3* Neat puzzles and story. Would really like to be able to skip a puzzle. Also I complete a puzzle and when I return to the game I have to do it again ### 4/5 — Loved it but now cannot restore IAP full game *2023-04-16* I tend to replay these types of games every so often. It’s been quite some time since I played this so I reinstalled it. Made it to the cave but now the game won’t restore my purchase of the full game all chapters. So… yeah, that remains my problem. It’s fun though. But some apps exhibit this problem every so often I run into that the App Store / the app will not restore an upgrade I purchased a long time ago. ### 3/5 — 課金しないと最後まで遊べない *2021-06-23, version 1.3* 途中から課金しないと進めなくなる 雰囲気は悪くないが脱出ゲームのわりにかなりファンタジー感が強く腑に落ちないことも多い ### 2/5 — It’s always colors! *2021-03-20, version 1.3* Don’t even start this game if you’re colorblind. Like most games in this genre soon you’ll be asked to arrange or sort or collect things based on subtly shaded pastel colors. Renders the game basically unsolvable. ### 3/5 — Pay? *2020-04-06, version 1.2* Not worth paying 4.99 to continue. ### 3/5 — Halfway through- bam! *2020-02-09, version 1.2* I was really enjoying this game until the game would not let me continue playing unless I paid for it. That would have been nice to know upfront. ### 3/5 — Looked amazing *2019-11-02, version 1.2* Couldn’t reliably navigate the screens ### 3/5 — Fun, although not the best of its kind *2019-10-29* I enjoyed this game, the difficulty was average (and on the easy side) but I liked the graphics . It’s a little short and the experience is not worth $4.99 in my opinion. I also experienced a bug near the end of the game (In 92, I had found the viewmaster slide and handle but it wouldn't work) It’s is a little annoying because I can’t finish the game. Overall it was entertaining but it needs work to meet the standard of a $5 game. ### 1/5 — Kosta fast gar nix *2018-07-29* Nur ein kleiner Abschnitt spielbar, danach kommt eine Zahlungsaufforderung 👎🏻 ### 4/5 — I Will Never Forget This "Long Journey"! *2018-03-31* Sometimes, I just want to get away from it all; far away from life's perpetual burdens. I let my imagination get the best of me, as I tap into the core where fantasy awaits, inventing secretive and magical places where I can wander around freely without any weight on my shoulders. This is that place. The artwork is breathtaking in every capacity. The illustrations are realistically rendered; and they evince in me a gentle sense of wanderlust, persuading me to gaze upon the exquisite landscapes that I visit, with each one demonstrating its own work of art. I love discovering and exploring the plethora of locations, as I unravel each one's enigmas by collecting cryptic clues to solve intriguing puzzles. The clues and puzzles suitably blend into the distinct environments, thus creating an effective balance between the captivating visuals and a profound sense of atmospheric stimulation. The level of difficulty is about average; if you consider yourself to be an expert player, then you might think that this game does not offer any significant challenge. You can choose to be guided by the Hint system; however, I chose to take my time, figuring out on my own how to progress. As I enter the final stretch of this majestic journey, I ponder over what brought me here. I reflect upon those concerns and just let them go. I am now ready to head home and wait for the next opportunity to take "The Long Journey." ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — They won’t let me restore my purchase *2023-07-07, version 1.3* I bought this and not they won’t let me restore my purchase to play again. ### 1/5 — Candle puzzle *2022-10-29, version 1.3* I keep doing it the right way and it won’t open frustrating must be a glitch ### 1/5 — Pessimo 2 *2022-08-03, version 1.3* Sono arrivato fino al livello 25 e poi …. E poi ….. e poi …… PAGA sennò non vai avanti !!!!!! Questo rompicapo non posso risolverlo !!!!!! ### 1/5 — Amateurish *2021-03-11* I lasted about 10 minutes on this game. The programming and the storyline are just muddling and awful with no clarity or sense of consistency at all. ### 1/5 — No funciona *2020-05-27, version 1.2* Lo acabo de comprar y se a parado ni para adelante ni atrás, que tengo que hacer o es un timo esto ### 1/5 — No puedo continuar *2020-01-27, version 1.2* Desde que lo pague no me deja reiniciar el juego y tengo que volver siempre al principio lo he intentado de varias maneras pero no me deja ### 1/5 — PESSIMO.... VERAMENTE!!! Inaudito *2020-01-26, version 1.2* Il gioco inizia che sei sperso nel nulla e con ai lati gli alberi,e di fronte un sentiero. È finita qua, niente di male. Non sono riuscita a partire pk a sinistra c'è una borsa con cui non ci fai niente e a destra la pausa. IO NON RIESCO NEANCHE A PARTIRE!!! Quindi l ho cancellato subito, comunque della grafica! Complimenti solo per quello................dovrebbero far iniziare il gioco con qualcuno che spiega come si fa.. Inaudito. Troverò un altro gioco magari simile a questo ma che io capisca come si inizia ### 1/5 — Nada recomendable *2019-02-21, version 1.2* El juego está genial pero no lo recomiendo. Cuando llegas a la casilla 25 tienes que pagar para poder seguir. He perdido un montón de tiempo para nada. Qué tomadura de pelo. Ni una estrella le doy. De mal en peor, para poder publicar tengo que darle alguna estrella. Qué hepatitis ### 1/5 — Don’t do the puzzle solving work for me... *2019-01-09* I went off this game almost straight away with one of the first puzzles. Early on, there’s a puzzle involving some coins on the floor in front of you. You can switch them around. ‘Right’, you think, ‘somewhere along the way there’s a clue which tells me what order these coins should be in’. It obviously isn’t trial and error because the 8 coins can all swap places, meaning there are an awful lot of possible combinations. There are some statues which match the figures on the coins, but nothing to tell you how they relate to each other in such a way as to give you the correct pattern. So you move around trying different things waiting for the clue for that pattern to show up, and it doesn’t. Now perplexed, I tap on my journal to see if I’d forgotten making any entries that could’ve helped, pretty sure there aren’t any because I haven’t used it and... there it is. The solution already written down, among pages and pages of journal entries I had no idea were even there and wasn’t informed about at any stage. Now, firstly there’s no reason for a drawing of the solution to be there, and secondly that solution doesn’t make any sense. There’s a drawing of those statues and an arrow I’ve apparently drawn without even knowing it showing a route from one statue to the other which forms the solution to the coin puzzle. But it isn’t at all implicit in the position of the statues that you should draw that pattern, I haven’t found the pattern anywhere, and I didn’t put it there, so why is it there? It’s the answer, but WHY is it the answer? So I look around all the places I’ve been once more to see if there’s anything I’ve missed, if there’s any way I could’ve come to the conclusion my journal is showing me based on what I’ve seen. There isn’t. The answer is what it is just because my journal says so. Call me pedantic, but It isn’t enough for me to have the answer, I want to know why the answer is there and for it to make sense. This doesn’t, and I’m fussy enough that I know I won’t have any fun carrying on playing the game knowing that getting past the very first obstacle felt like cheating because unbeknownst to me and in some inexplicable way, my journal had solved the puzzle for me. So I’ve had to delete it. ### 1/5 — No puedo avanzar *2019-01-05, version 1.2* Acabo de empezar el juego y no encuentro ningún control además tampoco puedo cambiar de idioma para saber como se avanza. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-09-07* It’s fun I like it ### 5/5 — Updated, great game *2022-12-18* Had originally rated 3 stars due to missing things, but now all good. Love that it is a game that’s takes a little longer so it can be enjoyed and that is well made, full of things to collect and use. ### 5/5 — Complicado pero entretenido *2021-08-15, version 1.3* Si te gustan enigmas difíciles, este es tu juego. Puede que alguna vez tengas que recurrir a ver la solución en YouTube….. anímate ### 5/5 — Atmospheric game *2021-02-22* I enjoyed it and went for the full game because I felt the developers deserved something for their efforts. I've played others of theirs for free. I didn't mind the diary system because that's what I expect from these games. I really loved the setting. Those are some creepy old places. ### 5/5 — Excelent *2020-06-09, version 1.2* Amazing game I hope that app team make more games like these ### 5/5 — 難しすぎず簡単すぎず *2019-06-08, version 1.2* ストーリーの1/5位まで無料で遊べますが、そこから先は課金が必要です。600円でした。 美しい音楽とグラフィックで、匂いや風を感じながら旅をしている気分にさせてくれる良作でした。 ゲームを始める前に毎回言語設定をし直さなければならない手間もありますが、それを差し引いても最後までプレイできてよかったなと感じた作品でした。 ### 5/5 — Amazing time killer *2018-03-16* When I downloaded the app I wanted a way to spent boring lecture. I was very surprised. I was seven hours into the game, which was actually pretty fun. The game has tons of good hidden objects scenes and mini-puzzles. ### 5/5 — Great game to pass your free time,in love with this game. *2018-03-15, version 1.2* The map is not too big but a quick travel feature would be of value.No glitches,Kept me entertained and did'nt become boring.I guess i found the perfect game,Big thumbs to the developers. ### 5/5 — Enjoyed it. *2018-03-14, version 1.2* Beautiful artwork in a Myst style puzzle game. I took my time to enjoy the scenery and bits of story. The puzzles were typical and hard enough but the star of the game was the design. ### 5/5 — Captivating and relaxing *2018-03-01* The game is a beautiful journey on a path that leads through many obstacles. The idea isn't original but I like the way it's done in this app. Beautiful landscapes, nice soundtrack. I think that maybe it would've been cool to add more acquaintances with some mysterious local folk along the way. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
